Hoyle held out against Big Bang theory, even post-1965, when the discovery of the microwave background led most cosmologists to favor it
'''Fred Hoyle''' (1915-2001) was a British [[astronomer]] who developed the [[steady state]] theory of [[cosmology]].

He was noted for his rejection of [[naturalistic]] theories of how the [[universe]] came into being.<ref>He supported the [[anthropic principle]], holding that there is a [[design in creation]]: the universe was designed in such a way as to produce life.

Nobel Prize winner Fowler wrote: "Fred Hoyle was the second great influence in my life. The grand concept of nucleosynthesis in stars was first definitely established by Hoyle in 1946." <ref>http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/hoyle.htm</ref> During a radio lecture, he coined the term "[[big Bang theory|big bang]]" to ridicule the theory (that he disbelieved) that the universe began from an explosion.

*He was best known for his seminal contributions to the theory of the structure of [[star]]s and on the origin of the chemical elements in stars. He was a joint proponent of the [[steady state model of the universe]], which claims, [[Biblical creation account|in contradiction with God]], that the universe had no beginning.

In an obvious punishment of Fred Hoyle, the [[Nobel Prize]] was awarded to underlings for Fred Hoyle's work. This prize was awarded at a time when Fred Hoyle was embarrassing [[evolutionists]] by exposing the [[archaeopteryx]] at the British Museum of History as a fraud. {{fact}}

* By 1946 he had formulated the original and still generally accepted idea that the elements are generated in evolving stars and injected into the interstellar medium by supernova explosions. In 1957 Hoyle collaborated with Willy Fowler, Margaret and Geoffrey Burbidge on an epoch-making paper on the nucleosynthesis of elements in stars. [
